On the other hand, a Black sea captain endlessly hunting a White whale makes an excellent metaphor for American institutional racism.

Unfortunately, that’s about all you can expect from Erik Shilling. It’s pretty telling about the state of Jalopnik that he’s one of the only writers they can keep around.

What exactly is your problem with Mini? Yeah, they’re not small anymore - so what? People don’t buy tiny cars these days even when they are available (hence the discontinuation of the Fiat 500), and I have a lot of respect for Mini for still selling a two-door hatch. As for “ugly”... well, they’re not as pretty as…

I’m a MINI owner, and you can go fuck yourself Eric Shilling. Also, the Cooper SE is not a step in the right direction, the new 300 hp GP is.

So what? They are slightly larger than the very smallest cars you can buy. They are still damned small cars compared to an F-150. Or a Camry.

There was a way to share this news without being an asshole about it.

WTF is your problem with MINI? They make a fun small hatch that you can order larger variants of. Are some of them quite large? Yes but not everyone can justify a small hatchback. 

Its sad but it seems the good writers have now all gone and left us with a bunch of Brooklyn-based millennials who know jack about cars and don’t even really seem to like them most of the time. It used to be a really great site.

Jim Spanfeller killed the morale to the point where a bunch of important people left, and everyone remaining is sad and angry?

Except MINIs are good. In a sea of near-identical jellybeans... they’re a refreshing injection of personality and fun.

I have never heard of anyone saying the US or Truman were heroic for using nuclear weapons. The discussion is always whether it was the right call balancing the number of lives on both sides that would have been lost if the Japanese home islands had to be invaded to end the war against the losses from the bombs, and…

I vote for the 2018 Corvette from the USA.

Required post.

No, you’ve got a fundamental misunderstanding of what a G is. It’s also a measurement of force. A G is just a particular unit of measurement. While under normal circumstances you’re correct in that we only feel the tug of earth, the term can be applied to far more than just gravity. Thanks to our good friend inertia,…

You’ll experience 50+g’s in a crash

So, you ruined a totally innocent activity for a bunch of kids? Nice parenting.

Same way all people like that do. Rewrite what happened in their minds so they were the victims, regardless of facts.

I’ll be completely blunt. I’m not a good photographer. I try to take lots of photos because some don’t come out well. Unfortunately, none of the March photos came out.

lol like Foxtrot Alpha hasn’t been political, the fuck planet are you living on. Defense is literally politics.
